Celebrating a grassroots legend

BY DONNA WELCH, Contributor

ST. PETERSBURG — For 25 years, Theresa “Momma Tee”Lassiter has given unselfishly of her time, talent and resources to uplift the community. She has worked relentlessly to find solutions to the challenges we face as a community, including crime, affordable housing, education, violence and ex-offender opportunities.

As the founder of Successes Unlimited Women & Youth Business Center, Inc., and the voice of the voiceless, Momma Tee has been an active community advocate who courageously speaks truth to the powers that be. She has helped many through her informed advocacy.

We will celebrate Momma Tee’s hard work with an appreciation dinner on Oct. 5. We humbly ask for your support to honor her lifetime of service to our community. Please join the board members of Successes Unlimited Women & Youth Business Center and myself in giving honor where honor is due.

The dinner is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 5 at the Magnuson Hotel Marina Cove, 6800 Sunshine Skyway Lane S, St. Petersburg, from 7-10 p.m. Momma Tee’s health is not the best these days, but we are sure that this community recognition of her years of advocacy, service and counsel, will make this an evening to be remembered.
